Share the conversations – Week 1

Okay, here’s the idea. Wherever you decide to talk about your game, game design or your general NaGa DeMon experiences, share that stuff here. I am going to put up one post like this every Saturday (I know, today’s not Saturday, but I wanted to get it out before November started!) so we collate a weekly “snapshot” of the conversations that are happening. This post will stay “open” until next Friday, then a new one will open on Saturday November 9th.

I will also create a page closer to the end of November so that everyone can link-up their actual game, or a post related to their completed work.

How do you share your conversations? Well you can leave a comment at the end of the post, but what you really should do is use the blue “add your link” button below. You can link to a blog, forum or Facebook post, a website, images or anything else that has a URL. Add a picture to make it pretty and a short title and you’re done. At the end of the week we will hopefully have a bunch of easy to navigate links that will take us to each other’s thoughts, ideas and experiences.

Once you’ve added your link, by all means get back to working on that game! It would also be really cool if you visited one or two other links, left a comment on that person’s blog or FB page or whatever they have linked to.

Our local gaming group started some discussion on BGG and the whole thing has ballooned in the space of a few days. We currently have ideas and discussions running for a games about an Airport, Time Travel, a Harem, Elections, Greek Gods and more. We’re all just waiting to meet-up next week to really get it all moving.

Started work on a one shot adventure for Star Wars: Age of Rebellion. Will hook up all the blogging niceness towards the end of the week to discuss it in full, but I’m keeping regular tallies on my twitter account.

I don’t have an awesome picture (or any artwork for that matter) but here’s a link to my google drive document that I’ve been working on. Keep in mind, I’m an uber noob at this, I just got this idea a few months ago and my passion is the only thing fueling me. I tried the Add your Link, but I didn’t have a picture to upload so I couldn’t do it. I’m nervous to share my idea publicly, but I guess knowing other people are seeing it, and even having them criticize what might be terrible ideas would be a good thing.https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MenJxo2Ky9GlsnrIdeBHBE3MKxLUF4ZQQY9CkTm8nRg/edit#slide=id.g122356c36_07
(The name of the game is not going to stay, it’s going to have a much catchier name)

@Eric Lange, I really liked your idea, and it also gave me some good ideas on how to improve my player sheet ideas and such!

Thanks Nathan & Jackson! Yes, that comment was tongue-in-cheek. The same way some people feel about America’s “World Series”, I guess. I do get the link to the “NaNoWriMo” – and I wonder if the folks who named that one only picked it because of alliteration? (PS I’m from the “other down under” – South Africa or, as I like to call it, the Edge of the Gaming Universe…)

Hey Derek, the “National” is just a riff on “NaNoWriMo”, and like that novel writing event this is a truly international event. Not least because I am an Australian, living in Australia! Participants are from all over the world so feel free to get involved! The international nature of the event is discussed in a variety of places, but it is something that could be made clearer on the front page – I will get onto that. From where do you hail from, Derek?
